University of Glamorgan: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    The University of Glamorgan was a public university in South Wales that merged with the University of Wales, Newport to form the University of South Wales in April 2013. It suits applicants who are researching a former Welsh university and want to verify historical study options, but it is not an active institution to apply to now.

  2. What you can study

    The university had four faculties and campuses in Trefforest, Glyntaff, Merthyr Tydfil, Tyn y Wern and Cardiff. Specific subject areas and current programmes are not published, and the university no longer exists as a separate institution, so applicants should check the University of South Wales for current course options.

  3. Getting in

    There is no current admissions route for the University of Glamorgan because it merged into the University of South Wales in April 2013. Anyone looking to apply from abroad should confirm programme availability, entry requirements, and application steps with the University of South Wales website or admissions office.

  4. What it costs

    A tuition fee is not published for the University of Glamorgan. For current study costs, confirm fees with the University of South Wales admissions office; living costs in South Wales will depend on the city, housing, and personal spending.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not published. An international applicant should check whether the course is available at the current institution, what documents are needed, whether visa support is available, and which campus the programme is based at.

  6. How it compares

    There are 193 universities in the United Kingdom, and the University of Glamorgan was one of the Welsh public universities before it merged in 2013. Compared with active institutions in the country, it is only relevant as a former university history and campus reference rather than a place to apply to now.

Written from this university's catalogue entry and its cited encyclopedia summary. Figures are only shown where the institution or a cited source publishes them — always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
